That is your problem. You have an inflexible organization that makes it difficult to support more than one version of a program, or to upgrade versions. Such an organization is not suitable for many software development environments. I can't imagine insisting on a single version of GCC for our environment, for example. It would be totally impractical for us, as no single version of GCC will solve all our problems. I also can't imagine waiting for a long time between needing a particular version of GCC and having it installed here. I know about organizations that have problems such as you describe -- but those are the organizations' problems, not GCC's problems. > I made the above remark because someone made the suggestion / implication > that all of my developers could each have their own installation, That sort of flexibility is rarely necessary. From your description, it appears that all you need is for your developers to share one instance of an autoconf version that is suitable for your project.
